Disney and Orlando theme parks pushing deals for the rich

With the economy still down one would not think the theme parks would be making things for the rich. But that is one of the things Disney and other Orlando theme parks are doing.

The ultra rich have money to spend and are not cutting their vacations like the rest of us. So to boost revenue Disney and theme parks are pushing more things for the rich to spend on.

For example Disney is pushing their new Golden Oaks residential development with houses going for as much as 8 million dollars!

Meanwhile Sea World is expanding their Discovery Cove park, where their swim with the dolphins packages start at $199.00 per person.

So while the rest of us do without our vacations and save, the theme parks are trying to cater to the super rich in whatever way they can.

Nothing wrong with that. Maybe that will get more jobs going. I know however I'm not going to be looking at any 8 million dollar homes anytime soon.
